Spring is here






Well I was finally able to find some darn batteries for my camera. Of course, I had to pilfer them from the TV remote.
Why is it there are always enough batteries for the kids' game junk and never any for Mom, hmmmm...
OK enough whinning :)


These are my Spring Petticoat socks. They were made using Opal petticoat, as always the Opal was wonderful to work with. The pattern is called Sixth Sense and was the pattern of the month last year with the Six_Sox_Knitalong. I used size bamboo needles.


This pattern called for a garter stitch short row heel, which I really enjoyed working.




It also has a garter stitch toe, which is just adorable and looks perfect with the heel.


Currently on my needles is a plain jane stockinette sock using Lion Brand Magic stripes.

All of your socks look wonderful. I love the Opal Petticoat, it is one of my favorite colorways from Opal. I know what you mean about the batteries. I bought a nice recharger and lots of rechargable batteries and I still have to go searching for the ones I specifically bought for my camera...kids.
I happened upon your blog from SAM3

I love this Petticoat colour. It's sold out in Europe. What a pity. Nice, nice socks. Nice pattern. Simple but effective.

Pretty socks. My Petticoat stripes didn't match quite that well on my yarn like that. The rest of your socks are nice too!
